Full textLa multimorbidité, la co-occurrence de deux maladies chroniques ou plus chez un même individu, est une condition de plus en plus commune avec le vieillissement de la population. La multimorbidité est associée de façon indépendante au statut socioéconomique (SSE) et à l’utilisation des soins de santé. Toutefois, l’effet combiné de la multimorbidité et du SSE sur l’utilisation des soins ambulatoires reste mal compris. Nous avons réalisé une étude de cohorte populationnelle rétrospective afin de déterminer l’impact du SSE des adultes multimorbides sur l’utilisation fréquente de trois types de soins ambulatoires: les admissions à l’urgence, les consultations d’omnipraticiens et les consultations de médecins spécialistes. À l’aide de modèles de régression logistique multivariés, nous avons calculé les proportions d’utilisation fréquente des soins ambulatoires en fonction du nombre de maladies chroniques stratifiées selon le niveau de défavorisation matérielle, le tout ajusté pour l’âge, le sexe, la défavorisation sociale et l’emplacement géographique. Notre étude populationnelle suggère que le SSE a un effet modifiant dans l’association entre la multimorbidité et les consultations fréquentes de médecins spécialistes. En effet, la différence de proportions ajustées de ces consultations, entre les individus les plus défavorisés et les moins défavorisés, passe de 0,1 % pour ceux sans maladies chroniques à 5,1 % pour ceux avec quatre maladies chroniques ou plus. Cette différence de proportions n’est pas observée pour les admissions fréquentes à l’urgence ou les consultations fréquentes d’omnipraticiens. Même dans un système de santé universel, on constate des disparités dans l’utilisation des soins ambulatoires selon le SSE. Bien que les individus défavorisés utilisent davantage les services d’urgences et d’omnipraticiens, cette utilisation semble proportionnelle au nombre de maladies. Cependant, pour les individus plus favorisés qui consultent davantage
Multimorbidity, the co-occurrence of two or more chronic diseases in the same individual, is an increasingly common condition with the aging of the population. Multimorbidity is independently associated with socioeconomic status (SES) and healthcare utilization. However, the combined effect of SES and multimorbidity on the use of ambulatory care services remains poorly understood. We conducted a retrospective population-based cohort study to determine whether the SES of multimorbid adults had an impact on the frequent use of three types of ambulatory care services: emergency room, general practitioners and specialist physicians. Using multivariate logistic regression models, we calculated the proportions of frequent ambulatory care use based on the number of chronic diseases, stratified by level of material deprivation and adjusted for age, sex, social deprivation and geographical location. Our population study suggests that SES has a modifying effect on the association between multimorbidity and the frequent use of specialist physicians’ services. In fact, for frequent specialist physicians’ visits, the difference in adjusted proportions of frequent use between the most deprived and the least deprived individuals, increased from 0.1% for those without any chronic disease to 5.1% for those with four or more chronic diseases. This difference in proportion is not observed for frequent visits to an emergency room or frequent visits to a general practitioner. Even in a public healthcare system, there are still disparities in the use of ambulatory care services according to the SES. Although individuals with a lower SES have a greater use of emergency rooms and general practitioners, this use seems proportional to the number of diseases. However, for individuals with a higher SES who visit specialist physicians more often, the disparities based on SES seem to increase with the number of diseases. Further studies are needed to better understand this phenomenon and to reduce social inequalities in health.

Full textThis master’s thesis focuses on the discourses and practices by which the Magdalen Islands fishermen and farmers address the issue of climate change. These Madelinots contend daily with climate-related factors in their activities based upon environment exploitation. Guided by the approaches of environmental history and political ecology, this master’s thesis examines the scope of human actions on the nature, the significations given to nature and their resulting socio-environmental repercussions. Likewise, this study aims to better understand the place of climate change in local discourses about the economic livelihoods of fishermen and farmers, the environmental degradations and the energy future of the archipelago. It also demonstrates the social construction of climate change and discerns its social, political and economic components.

Full textSince the end of the Second World War, Quebec society has undergone major changes that may have influenced the recent increase in the standard of living of Quebecers: i) major school reforms; ii) the change from the Fordist model of production to the post-Fordist model of production; iii) increased contribution of women to the labor market; iv) the change from the modern family model to the contemporary family model; and v) the aging of the population. The main objectives of this thesis are, on the one hand, to better understand how these transformations could have affected the increase in the standard of living from 1986 to 2016 and, on the other hand, to highlight the inequalities in the standard of living between households according to their characteristics. To do this, we propose to examine the evolution of the standard of living from a macroeconomic perspective, using real GDP per capita, and from a microeconomic perspective using adjusted income. Some of our variables had negative impacts on the standard of living (changes in the demographic profile of the population, the decrease in the number of workers per household, the decrease in the number of hours worked level as well as changes in household composition). Other variables had nuanced impacts or little impact (changes in the age and sex of the primary maintainer, the decrease in household size and the stagnation of employment income). On the other hand, certain variables had positive impacts (the evolution of the employment rate, the growth of productivity, the decrease in the number of dependent children per household, the increase in the level of education and the growth government transfers).

Full textThis thesis presents a sociohistorical study of a particularly targeted resource region: the Gaspé Peninsula. The first objective is to shed light on the economic difficulties which have prevailed in this region from the crisis of the 30’s until today. The second objective is to take a critical look at the social and economic impact of the government policies which were applied to this region since The Quiet Revolution. By tracing back the peninsula’s significant development stages during the twentieth century, this research intends to show the important causal connection between a region historically known for its economic backwardness and the government interventions. The core of the thesis illustrates the difficulties linked to the rural nature of a community living in the fringes of a production system based on the free market and unlimited growth. To protect itself from the system’s inequities, the community even avoids governmental regulations which are applied irrespective of a redistribution to the poor. The analysis of social stakeholders, the structured trade between the government and the region, and the reciprocity of intellectual influences exerted between development practitioners and specialists have contributed to materialize a momentum which would facilitate a common vision of an endogenous development. The thesis identifies and examines the ideologies from which various development models originate (chapters VI and VII), actions taken in rural areas by the government, and identifies the local and national stakeholders supporting alternatives (bottom-up models) to the classic top-down model. Some characteristics of the model being considered tend to conclude that an economically challenged rural area like the Gaspé Peninsula cannot achieve its development by persisting in the neoliberal path and in a notion of prosperity based on trade growth. In this thesis, we are submitting that the order of priorities must change. Reorganizing the development of resource regions requires different methods and doctrines. It is mostly based on institutionalizing cooperation between stakeholders and is achieved under the banner of economic mutual aid and social solidarity. In chapter VIII, we show a region’s capacity to diagnose its problematic situation, to regroup its strengths and define a suitable development model. This model conciliates social and commercial economy, government and citizen participation, liberal and social democracies. The thesis states that the alliance between responsible entrepreneurship (relations between corporations) and social innovation are the components chosen par Gaspesian stakeholders to revitalise their region, economically and socially. We conclude by stating a reality that rises above theories and models: the Gaspé Peninsula was excluded from any development for almost a century. The region did not experience significant growth for quite some time. We outline that the peninsula, being geographically distant from post-war technological innovations and industrial machinery, was kept out of a wealth accumulation regime never seen in the history of capitalism. While the Gaspé Peninsula was kept aside, developed countries were creating economic links which accelerated industrial production and mass consumerism, consequently creating economics virtuous circles, depicted by Les Trente Glorieuses ("The Glorious Thirty", 1945-1975), a prosperous period from which the Gaspé Peninsula did not benefit. The benefits of the Fordist regime, where growth and productivity gain are shared between workers and employers, have also eluded the peninsula’s economic stakeholders. We will see that the government, as economic regulator, was not able to assert itself as arbitrator of the common good. Public policies have failed to contain the region’s decline...

Full textThis rechearch proposes a validation of the contingency theory, and the main purpose of this study is to demonstrate the influence of the structure-turbulence interaction on the performance of municipalities in the province of quebec. This rechearch develops two different models : 1) the model opf relative performance indicator; 2) the model of general contingence which main purpose is to determine the influence of the fit between organizational structures and the environmental turbulence on the municipal organizations performance. In this rechearch, using the model of relative performance indicator results shows evidence that cities performance depends on work load, labor costs and quality of service offered. Testings of the general contingency model, revealed that interaction between structure and turbulence was a better predictor of performance than structure and turbulence considered separately. Moreover it seemed that organic structures are more convenient in periods of high turbulence, and in contrast mecanic structures fit better for lower turbulence periods. The purpose of the present strudy was also to determine whether a simplified measure of fit between structure and turbulence would relate to performance of municipal organizations. Unfortunately, the relations was not highly significative, so it seemed that it was due to the small size of the sampling (n = 24)

Full textIn this thesis, we study Quebec male prison population with a special focus on recidivism. We are especially interested in quantifying the impact of regional economic variables on the probability of recidivism and the number of reoffenses committed in a year. More precisely, we consider variations in regional unemployment rate, minimum wage and average disposable income. Moreover, we include in our analysis domestic predictors: being married or having a family. Since these two parameters are potentially endogenous with recidivism, we estimate bivariate probit regressions and Poisson regressions with regional sex ratios as instrumental variables. The data provided by the ministère de la Sécurité publique allows us to bring to light several results. We estimate that having a family decreases by 18% the likelihood of recidivism, while the effect marriage is not significant. No effect is found for the number of reoffenses committed, neither for being married or having a family. Finally, we find a significant positive correlation between regional wealth and recidivism, whereas we highlight that an increase in real minimum wage is associated with a decrease in recidivism.

Full textThis doctoral thesis studies the changes in mobility conditions and in residential location of two potentially vulnerable groups: lone-parent families and elderly people. On the one hand, lone-parent families are generally considered one of the most disadvantaged groups in society. On the other hand, seniors face mobility challenges when they eventually lose their driving rights and because they do not consider or are unfamiliar with alternative transport options. The main objective is to identify factors that may create mobility disparities among members of the groups under study. Thus, in this thesis, the mobility disparities between the groups analyzed and comparable population segments (control groups) are measured based on differences in several socio-spatial factors, such as household motorization and residential centrality. The travel speed is used to evaluate mobility disparities because it determines people's activity space and conditions their potential access to opportunities, services and urban amenities outside home. Meanwhile, residential dispersion likely compounds the mobility challenges of vulnerable groups by increasing urban sprawl, which adds to the effort required to reach urban opportunities and activities. This research aims at providing decision makers with tools to assess risks of socio-spatial exclusion in urban areas and to promote policies capable of counteracting the reproduction of spatial injustice dynamics. The analyses developed in this thesis use information from origin-destination surveys of the Quebec City Metropolitan Area (QCMA) for 1996, 2001 and 2006 together with data from population censuses for the same years. The methodology is based on statistical tests of differences in means and proportions; quantile regressions; centrographic analyses of the spatial distribution of places of residence, and randomization tests to assess the significance of findings from the centrographic analysis. Regarding the mobility conditions and constraints faced by lone-parent families, the results indicate that households headed by mothers are less motorized and their members have a mobility gap compared to those led by fathers, which is reflected in lower travel speeds among the members of the former. The observed mobility disparities are particularly strong within trips performed at high travel speeds. Moreover, the centrographic analyses complemented by randomization tests reveal a significant increase in the residential dispersion of lone-parent families and retired couples aged 65 and over (without children at home) in the QCMA between 1996 and 2006. Lastly, the analysis of changes in mobility among elderly people indicates a deterioration in the average travel speed with aging in 1996 and 2006. Additionally, a comparison between 2006 and 1996, based on age cohorts and age groups, indicates a moderate improvement over time in travel speeds of trips associated with low and intermediate speeds, and a clear decline in travel speeds of trips more likely to involve driving a car on a motorway network. The analysis also reveals that the modal share of travel by foot increases with aging and that public transit is seldom used as a transport alternative by the elderly in the QCMA. Furthermore, the level of car access is one of the main determinants of older people’s mobility. The results obtained show the need for a holistic approach to help lone-parents and seniors to overcome their mobility challenges. These initiatives should include (but should not be limited to): developing “friendly” neighborhoods with ready access to urban services and amenities; increasing access to private transport by promoting car-sharing and ride-sharing; and tailoring flexible public transit solutions. Future research looking to expand the findings of this thesis could use the average travel speed estimations to generate cumulative accessibility measures and could also identify households with very restricted car access to detect groups potentially at risk to suffer a socio-spatial exclusion dynamic. Key words: mobility, accessibility, residential dispersion, lone parents, gender, retired couples, seniors, tests of differences of means and proportions, quantile regression, centrographic analysis, randomization tests, socio-spatial exclusion, car dependency.

Full textOpening doors: towards a Mexican immigrant entrepreneurship grounded theory in Quebec Immigrant entrepreneurship studies generally tend to adopt an "elite" approach focusing on cases of groups strongly represented in the statistics of entrepreneurship or in regions in which immigrant entrepreneurs have succeeded transforming territorial dynamics through the creation of high tech and added value companies. This perspective, although it has contributed in a significant way to the entrepreneurship study field, has the risk of providing a partial and idealized version of the phenomenon of immigrant entrepreneurship. Addressed comprehensively in the migration studies, Mexicans are an example of those who are often given little attention when attempting to understand the dimension of entrepreneurship, since they are associated more like "workers" than entrepreneurs”. Although there are researches that highlight the contribution of Mexican immigrants entrepreneurs, most of them, have been carried on in the United States context, due to the fact that it is the destination that millions of Mexicans have taken for more than one century. This research presents an exploratory case study of Mexicans entrepreneurs in the province of Quebec, Canada context since the economic and social geography. It is a qualitative analysis using a methodology inspired by the Grounded Theory. Focusing on actors, a theoretical sampling was carried on taking data from different sources. Twenty-three interviews were conducted with Mexican residents of the cities of Montreal, Quebec and Gatineau. The main objective was to initiate a theorization about the immigrant entrepreneurship phenomenon in a poorly documented group and context. Some conceptual categories were built from the perspective of the migrants themselves. Initially, it was also intended to explore the creation of transnational communities by Mexican immigrants in Quebec. However, initial results showed quickly that respondents, being a first generation of immigrants, were still in the phase of consolidating their ethnic communities in the host society. Nevertheless, the research identifies some of the difficulties and opportunities presented to subgroups of Mexican origin at this stage of transnationalism. For that reason, following the principles of grounded theory, the work was redirected only on immigrant entrepreneurship. In this sense, the importance of previous experiences, family supportand the reading of the territory to detect business opportunities were relevant. Routes of business entry profiles were detected. In addition, it is proposed the ethnic positioning category (the social construction that is made in the host society according to the ethnic group to which immigrant entrepreneurs belong). This category was a key to shape the structure of opportunity that allows the creation of businesses in the host cities. The whole mmigrant entrepreneurship process was synthesized with the metaphor "opening doors" which was an InVivo code that emerged from the words of the interviewees themselves and that allows us understand the venture as part of a wider process of territorialization by immigrants. The results routlined in theoretical models in order to better understand the phenomenon of immigrant entrepreneurship.
Recientemente se han documentado ejemplos en varias partes del mundo sobre la manera enque los inmigrantes contribuyen al crecimiento económico y a la competitividad de las sociedades receptoras generando empleos y oportunidades de negocios para los locales y para los otros inmigrantes a través de la creación de micros, pequeñas y medianas empresas. Asimismo, los efectos no económicos del empresariado inmigrante, tales como el desarrollo de comunidades étnicas transnacionales dinámicas, su inclusión y reconocimiento social o el reforzamiento de su emprendimiento, han llamado la atención de los investigadores Sin embargo, dichos estudios suelen adoptar un enfoque de “élite” centrado en los casos de grupos fuertemente representados en las estadísticas del emprendimiento o en regiones en los que los inmigrantes emprendedores han logrado transformar las dinámicas territoriales a través de la creación de empresas de alto crecimiento y valor agregado. Esta perspectiva, aunque ha contribuido de manera significativa, corre el riesgo de brindar una versión parcial e idealizada del fenómeno del emprendimiento inmigrante. A bordados de manera amplia en los estudios migratorios, los mexicanos son ejemplo de aquellos a quienes se les suele prestar poca atención cuando se pretende entender la dimensión del emprendimiento, ya que se les asocia más como “mano de obra” que como “creadores de negocios”. Si bien existen trabajos que dan cuenta del aporte de los inmigrantes emprendedores mexicanos, la mayoría, como es natural, se han realizado en el contexto de los Estados Unidos, ya que es el destino al que han acudido millones de mexicanos desde hace más de un siglo. Esta nvestigación presenta un estudio exploratorio del caso de los mexicanos emprendedores en la provincia de Quebec, Canadá desde la geografía económica y social. Se trata de un análisis cualitativo mediante una metodología inspirada en la Teoría Fundamentada (Grounded Theory). Con un enfoque centrado en los actores, se realizó un muestreo teórico tomando datos de diversas fuentes. Entre otras, se realizaron entrevistas a mexicanos residentes de las ciudades de Montreal, Quebec y Gatineau-Ottawa que han fundado empresas. El objetivo fue iniciar una teorización sobre el fenómeno del emprendimiento inmigrante en un grupo y contexto poco ocumentado construyendo categorías desde la visión de los propios migrantes. En este sentido, la importancia de las experiencias previas, el apoyo familiar y la lectura del territorio para detectar oportunidades de negocios resultaron relevantes. Se detectaron perfiles de vías de entrada al emprendimiento. Además, el posicionamiento étnico, o la construcción social que se hace en la sociedad receptora sobre el grupo étnico al que pertenecen los in migrantes emprendedores, resultó clave para moldear la estructura de oportunidad que permite la creación de empresas en los territorios de acogida. Todo este proceso fue sintetizado con la metáfora “abriendo puertas”, categoría surgida de las palabras de los propios entrevistados y que permite entender al emprendimiento como parte de un proceso más amplio de territorialización por parte de los inmigrantes. Los resultados se esquematizan en modelos teóricos con la finalidad de comprender mejor el fenómeno del emprendimiento inmigrante.

Full textThis research analyzes the afroquebecer rappers of the community of Limoilou (Limoilou Starz) and their friends of Montcalm in Quebec City as actors who appropriate elements of identity, social struggle and economic survival from global and American hip-hop, to help solve their particular challenges. The merits of the various struggles through their art and specific techniques (lyrics, public speaking and in medias and stand-ups, branding campains, online networks) are acquired by multiple sociohistorically rooted forms of capital. From an ethnographic study conducted with 31 participants in the city of Quebec, the concept of "negociated reception" is used to describe the process of resistance of the meaning to these different dominations produced by the actors in positions of power. These modes of domination come from state institutions agents (such as Quebec City Police officers), corporations agents (such as managers of entertainment clubs and of major and independent music labels), and also from individual or groups of peers of hip-hop milieu, through bullying strategies. he “emergent-fit” theory (Guillemette, 2006; Guillemette and Luckerhoff, 2009 ) presents hip-hop music as a renogociated musical field (Bourdieu, 1976 and 1989; Rimmer, 2010), and a multidimensional structure (social, identity, political, and economic) that intersects (through multiple categories such as place of residence, race, and economic capacity), and take shape in and through the mental and physical dispositions (habitus) of the studied actors. The results of this research show that some rappers are "resistant'' to the dominations of their various oppressors. Some others are nevertheless accepting the domination from national ideologies, entrepreneurs and peers, although they are conscious of it. Finally, one small group of studied rappers rejects it completely. Thus, intersectional appropriation of dominant meaning through hip-hop music leads to multiple readings of domination and resistance.

Full textL’intendant Jacques de Meulles crée la monnaie de carte en 1685 pour pallier un manque de numéraire dans la vallée du Saint-Laurent. Cette expérience monétaire qui ne devait durer qu’une saison allait bientôt être appelée à se renouveler d’année en année pour devenir un élément incontournable dans l’économie canadienne jusqu’à la fin du Régime français, et ce hormis une éclipse de 1720 à 1729. Par l’étude de neuf greffes de notaires ruraux de la Côte-de-Beaupré et de la Côte-du-Sud de 1685 à 1743, nous avons tenté de comprendre les paramètres régissant la circulation de cet instrument d’échange. Comme toute monnaie parallèle – c’est-à-dire une devise évoluant en marge de la monnaie nationale –, les « cartes » sont caractérisées par une pluralité de cloisonnements qui circonscrivent son utilisation et définissent une communauté de paiement assez bien délimitée. L’analyse sérielle de quelque 5000 actes notariés impliquant des transactions en argent a montré que ces cloisonnements concernent d’abord l’espace – la monnaie de carte pénètre davantage dans les paroisses plus proches du lieu d’émission de Québec, souvent plus anciennes –, mais aussi le temps, l’état de la colonisation, les usages et le sexe et l’âge des utilisateurs.
